Kedamono Kareshi [Chapter 33]

Himari is shocked that Keita wants to move out of the house.
She wonders if it is because they are siblings and is it because she said that
their parents are more important. After Shigeru exchanged some polite
conversation with Ryou, he tidies up the car. Upon seeing Himari’s glum
expression, Ryou asks her if something happened between her and Keita. When
Himari snaps out of it, Ryou explains that she always has that expression since
a while ago and there is only one cause. He asks if he guessed right. Himari
didn’t reply. From the window, Ryou sees Keita standing behind the window in
the house. Shigeru calls out to Ryou so Ryou ends his visit by telling Himari
that he’ll text her and if it is okay that it is only up to that degree [of
relationship between them]. Himari still didn’t reply. The car left and Keita
is watching them. In her room, Himari is bothered that Keita is leaving and
would disappear from this place when she obviously do not want to destroy the
family’s harmony. She wonders if she did something wrong or..in the end, there
is no way of preventing all of this. In school, everyone is curious over what happened
between Ryou and Himari. They are amazed at Ryou’s courage and confessing in
that place is amazing. Standing by the door, Himari is gloomy over the rumors.
She is surprised when Ryou tells her if she treats what everyone is saying as
truth but then, it is certainly like that. Then, he says that he’s joking and
he’ll clearly explain things to everyone. Himari looks surprised. Ryou goes in
and thinks that actually, he’s not joking at all. Himari just glumly watch as
Ryou tells his friends that he obviously told them yesterday. Later on, Himari
spots Keita by the hallway. She calls out to him because they weren’t able to
properly talk yesterday since then about him leaving the house. Keita asks her
what it is. She asks if he was serious about what he said yesterday. She plans
to persuade him a bit since he might reconsider. Keita says that it is as he told
her. Himari begs him not to leave the house for how does he want for their
parents to feel because if he leaves, they’ll definitely be very sad.

This irks Keita that he says that at this time, compared to
him, she would still go ‘parents’ ‘parents’. He tells her that his thinking
cannot be changed. Himari wonders how can this be, because like this, everyone
will separate again when obviously, it isn’t that easy for all four of them to
be a family. It is night, Keita arrives home. He spots his father peeking
inside that he asks what he is doing. Shigeru is surprised that he’s back and
says that it is nothing, he just felt that, ‘that’ isn’t bad. He points inside
and sees Himari helping her mother cook. Himari is exclaiming that she made a
lot but her mother says that anyway, it all gets eaten up. Looking away, Keita
complains what his father is looking at, and calls him disgusting. Shigeru is
shocked to be called disgusting. He asks isn’t that very nice, the home has
become lively and warm. Keita says that it’s the same. Shigeru tells him that
it is because of Keiko and Himari are here, this home became warm and he thinks
that this is truly very nice. Keita says is that so, he isn’t interested in
that. Shigeru tenderly looks at him and says that it is because when Keita is
young, he wasn’t able to give him a warm family atmosphere. Keita recalls his
parents quarreling before. Shigeru says that at time, he is very busy and there
are a lot of times when he wasn’t able to frequently stay at the house that it
also made his mother become very lonely. He tells Keita that at that time, his
mother actually didn’t do anything wrong. It is really great that he was able
to meet Keiko and Himari, and he wants to give Keita this kind of warm family
atmosphere. Going into his room, Keita wonders what’s up with that. Recalling
Himari telling him to think of what their parents would feel and the rest of
their conversation, Keita seems to be flustered. He goes to his desk and opens
the drawer. He holds the fox mascot strap and wonders out loud what he should
do. Then, there is a quick knock and door opening of Himari telling him that
dinner is ready. She is surprised to see what he is holding.

Comment: It seems that Ryou is ever persistent that he still wants
to keep in touch with her. I don’t quite understand what he was saying about the
rumors and it is a joke since what they are gossiping about, are true. Maybe,
he meant some other gossips like taking Himari home that are added to that
since he reprimanded his friends who saw them at the station. From Keita and
his father’s conversation, I guess this is the reason why Keita doesn’t really
care about keeping the family intact nor feel that it is important. Unlike
Himari, she knows what it is like and seems to think that after everything had
happened, her mother deserves happiness more than she does. Amusingly, Keita
has to hear it from his father himself about what he thinks of family for Keita
to have hesitations about leaving. But then, that would be like trying to
please his father since he doesn’t have any deep family bonds with his father
or the others. Hehe, if Himari is a cunning manipulative girl and seeing him
holding that thing which proves he really loves her, she could like say, if you
love me, don’t leave this house, etc =P Scans by all★wink汉化组

Quote of the day:

There is no such thing as a broken family. Family is family,
and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption
documents. Families are made in the heart. ~ Author Unknown

* sigh * For some reason , I'm extremely annoyed at Himari, so annoyed that I wish Keita would really break it off with her, and be with another girl.... let's see what Himari would feel. Himari wanted family harmony. The opposite happened.

Well, my idea is, Himari doesn't even try and take the risk...... if the mom doesn't like, then , that's where the drama begins. It's now up to Himari to decide if she's going to fight for love. As it is, she's being passive. If Keita doesn't take the steps himself, then it will be the end. The irony is , the family unity that she wishes is already gone. And what's wrong with the situation now is not only her concern with family unity, but also what society and other people will think.

True, megaworthit and well, Himari has always been passive in almost everything. ^^; More like a pushover.

Indeed, that's why I think in the end, the parents would just accept them because the drama could have already happened there with Himari fighting for love but no, she didn't. This part kept on dragging on and on.

True, people would gossip over why Keita moved out and well, still gossip if they are together.

You said it, Kat. I think it's this kind of plotline that somehow takes the edge off the story, and this happens when a main character is passive and doesn't do anything to resolve the situation. Oh, well, I guess not doing anything is her way of resolving the issue. But readers do lose interest, right ?

For some reason, loss of interest only happens when it's the girl who is passive/weak. . When it's the guy who's passive, the opposite happens. Readers become more interested when a guy is like " uninterested"..... it's exciting to know when a guy is going " to break". That's when we hear a lot of Kyaaaa, and doki doki from readers. o.O?
